NoRnrwooD, N. Y., May 12. They were telllnc stories at Finch's stcre. It was what the woodsmen facetiously call nn experience meeting. Herb Conkllng had boon worklnc once on a job of peeline hemlock bark over on Black Lako. It wasn't much of a lake for Ash- ing. Of course It hnd some fish In It, bic ones, too. But no ono could catch the blc ones, l'hey wouldn't bite. He'd tried overythlnc from an ando wonn to n ble chub, hut nothing would tempt their opretltcs. "There is too much feed there for them," ruscpsted FaUy Newton, tho commercial trav- eller from Utlca. " No," said Herb. " I cuess it's the other way.

I cot my worm there In no time, nnd, sure enoucn, the blc fel- low snapped it up, nnd In half a minute more I nod him flopplncln the old soow. The trout ha had swallowed was so lone that more than two Inches was stlckine out of his mouth when ho bit at my bait, isn't that so. Uncle Jim?" UrcIo Jim nodded nnd smoked placidly. ' How much did tho blc one welch?" asked Fatty Xowton, "Two ivinnds nlno ounces, drossod, by the EtefllBNlB," h Herb. "If you want to catch front," said Fatty, "you should co drop your bait into tho sprinc hole over on Mposa lllver or Into Hand Lako or Holm Lake.

EXCISE COMTLtCATIOir BT JTBRBttT. JUW the Heanblleaa Mr. Hare the Temperance Vate Wader thetr Thniabe. The temiieranco work ot tho last Now Jersey Leclslalure Is oauslnc trouble In an unexpected dlrocllon. It has been the custom in tho rural districts, ospoclally In parts ot the State where tho tompernncoaontlmontls strong and saloons few, for men to set up "Juc shops," where they kept liquor for sale In quantities of a quart or over, to bo drunk off the premises, Threo or four persons wishing to drink oonld chip In their money and en or send to ono of these places for a quart In a " crowlor" or a bot- tle. They would drink it up somowhore out-sld- o the door, and whuti it was nono eo hack for more. For this hort of liquor edllnc no llccni-- was requited. Lxperts have calculated that for expedition and economy this mothod ol cettinc drunk exceeded two to one tho Mundluss up tua bar nnd pouring it down a class lit a lime. To bienu up this bulnos tho Leclslnturo passed a law raising tho limit of unlicensed sales to nA gallons. This was a deadly blow at tho "Juc shop," but uobod noticed until re- cently tnat It was nlso n solid whack at tho business of lliiuot'-selllu- c by ctocei s, drueclste, and othordo'ilors who havo ulwnn heretoloro Kept tho ardent lluld dono up In quart bottles and other convenient packnees handy tor aim tomors who wanted that sort of Hoods with their cheoso and stigar, or ns mcdlaine. Inci- dentally, In probably half the groceries and tho diucntore- - In tho Btate, cus- tomers who wsie known had nodlBlculty in gettlne slnclo drinks on the premises. The now law makes it necessary for grocers and drucelsts to take out Ikon pes before they can legally soil liquor at all, and breaks up the slncle drink custom entirely. Many grocers who have large buslnei-sn- s have nlrendy ap- plied for licenses. The druggists generally say that thoy will shut down on liquor selling altogether. To add to the unpleasantness of the situation for the grocers nnd druggists, tho High Llcuntn lnw has put up tho price of to in large cities nnd to $lt)0 in tho smallest towns. A fiittbor unexpected development is In the mnttor of ules of liquor at clubs. It Is alleged that the new laws make It necessary for all such organizations to havo a license to cll oeu to members to drink in the club house. On tho side of tho tomporance people thero Is also unpleasantness, owing to the tnct that It will almost cuilululy be impossible to get an election under tho local option jiart of tho Hlch License bill before noxt yenr. InOlou-cesto- r county a ictlt!on for such an election has already been presented to tho court, nnd similar applications nre expected to be made soon in Cane May. Cumberland, and Camden counties. Hut tho Inwjrives tho court lorty dajs In which to examine tho petition and or- der tho election, which carries It to about Juno lti. Then nt least threo months' notlcn must be qlvenof the election, which will not take until Sept. Id. Hut by anothei prulslou of tho law tho license election cannot bo held within tdxty days of any general election, nnd the general election coining this i ear on Nov. C. tho license election cannot be held no Into as Sept. it) nor earlier than hlxtydays alter Nov. 0. by that time there will be another Legislature, and the temperance people may have their hands full In keeping the law from being ropoalod. Tho result of this application of mnthomatlca to tho Local Option law Is a surprlsotothe tem- perance i eoplo, but Hewoll and tho llcpubllcnn bosses who manipulated the Legis- lature that nH'-s.i-d the bill know all about it lung ago.

They calculated that the Democratic leaders, having put the party solidly on recoid against the law, tho temperance people will bae no choice but to tmn In and vote and work for the cnndldnte for the Legislature in Noembr, iu order to savo the law nt all.

That Is an immense Inoreae ovor an equal period of last year, for in the entire twelvemonth of 1HS7 there were In tho city but twenty-tw- o fires so caused. It Is not easy to tell exactly when tha.-- e light wires began starting conflagrations. In 1SR0 there were throe fires, nccordlnc to tho report of the Fire Department, set by "sparks from te'ecrnph wlrcb," and in 1881 another attributed to tho same cause. The fires clearly established as caused by electric llcht whes nnmbeied threo In 1981, two in 1832. six in 1883, seventeen in 1884, nine In 1885. fourteen in 1886, twenty-tw- o in 1837, and fourteen in tho first four months of tho present year In all elghty-see- n. The condition of the wires at the present time Is fraught with evtreme danger to life nnd property. Tho suspended wires have becomo so numerous that they jostle each other, and every moment when a wind is blowing there is peril of tho dlverMon of the high current of an arc light circuit to some te'ephone, telegraph. Tiro Department, or police wire, carrying dis- aster to unexpected quarters. Thode' riora-tlo- n wroucht by timo and the elements la the Insulating material covering those arc light wires inllnltelylncronsos the danger, for where-oe- r thero lsabaro spot of wire the curront is ready to leap forth for silent, instantaneous murder, or the starting of a conflagration. The fraying of the Insulating coveilnc by wires rubbing against each other, by their touching spikes and posts and signs, by the formation of ice upon thorn, and the action of the wind In blizzard weather, aud through many other causes, has produced the rag and tatter so con- spicuous on the wires all over tho city, Tho conditions attendant upon the starting ot fires by electile llcht wires are such as attention to them so quickly that thoy are readily extinguished and compara- tively little damage is done. When the current is diverted from a lamp to some improper direction the light cu-- s out, and somebody is llkuly to havo sufllelcnt Intelligence to look out ntonco for trouble. Jiut there are cases In which tho flames are slnrtod in places where tliey are not disc oercd until tho conflagration gains headway, nnd thero are other cases In which the dnraage done is groat and instan- taneous, through destruction by the pouerlnl arc llcht current of the delicate electrical ap- paratus of other systems. Eory year since thero havo beon electric wires strung upon poles in Now VorkstrrolH telephone instruments nnd llio alarm boxes have beon burned nut In this way. In 18S6 tho switchboard at Flru Depart- ment Headquarters was ret on lire thiougli the touch of an nrc-llc- wlro to one of tho fire tele- graph wires. As long ago as lh81 tho superin- tendent of the flio alarm telegraph, in his annual report, invited attention "to tho con- stant and Increasing liability of interruptions and damage to the (lie alarm telccr-ipt- i sys- tem from the electric llcht wires, utid d that " restrictions should be iilacod upun of pnlu.s and wires among and over tho wires of the denuitiuout by the eluetlujight-in- c companies." Again, in 1882, lie reported that "tho Interferences of olectrlo light wltes with those of the tiro alarm tolegr.iph of this dejiartmcnt aro becoming so serious ns to de- mand immediato attention. In n number of instances on record whole, nnd large parts of, etit-J-t alarm box circuits have for hours been renderod useloss by tho destroying of the eloc-tri- o mechnnlsm of the boxes." Utery year sinco then similar com- plaints hao beon made. Superinten- dent Smith says: "Wo do all wo can to keep our wires from gottlnc in con-tn- with those of tho electrlo Jlghtlnz com- panies by kooplnc out ot their way, for the de- partment has no rights they are bouuu to and wo cannot make them keep out of our way. Tho dangers from thorn nisy confi- dently ho exjiected to Increuso from this time on. owing to the deterioration of the Insulating material upon the wires that hatobrcn up for seme time and tho lapld and great increase in their circuits."

Luti, '! tho brewesr. who expressed himself as greatly Y, pleased with it, Mr. Hogg will apply for ft ) patent, and It ho secures one will oommenoo preparations for putting tho schema Into effeot. 4i Tho idea is to lay pipes in the streets the i same as other pipos nre laid, and these will . A; have houso connections, tho boer passing: ''. through a meter In each house to show the .'., quantity usod. The pipes will be ot peculiar - "J construction, and three In number, one Inside .4 the other. The outer pipe will be of clqy. This si wtll surround nn inner plpo ot iron, which will i 'A still havo anothor Inside of It, The inner pipe . will bo two Inches in diameter, lined with silver to prevent oorroslon. jf. Between this plpo and the other Iron pipe will be a spaco of about two inches all around, to give space to a current of cold air from the loe-- .' making machinery at the broworr. thus keep-- ' i ing the beor cool all the time. jt. Mr. Hogg calculated thnt a pressure of 60,000 is gallons in a hogshead or reservoir on the sixth. ,(!v floor of tho brewory will bo sufficient to foroo j' tho beer through the pipes and into the houses whero the service pipes run. The consumers :' will pay no license or tax. but It will be neoes- - ' enry for tho brower to afllx the Internal revenue 4 stamps to the hogshead in the brewery. The J plan contemplates lending rtround persona once a month to examine tho tasters, see new 4 much beer has been consumed and collect the - money for It About once a rhanth the pipes i. will be cleaned out thoroughly In order to keep ,? them in good condition and pare vent the beer N " from spoiling. A It will be necessary, of course, to get the per- - !', mission of Councils to lay pipes in the streets. h Mr. Hogg says that if he got everything else ', in shape ho haj no fear about totting tots permission. As yet he has cot fleurod on th cost, but ho does not expect It to be laffger than, :; ho will be able to secure money for to pat than 'v down.

While It Is truo that the man of knownwealth nnd wide buslne. relations In Newlork nre oompellod to surround themselveswith various barricades to escape tho imnortu- -sltlos ot unwoloom visitors, It Is also true thnt' many ot the busiest meu have a happy knackot Unhtsnlnc the burdens ot life. While theybar ont the bore, the beetcar, the Idler, or thobook accent, thoy raanago (o slip in many npas sins; moment with a welcome friend or nJoyous spirit. If It Is only to say "' Notor " I really can't do It,," they make tho worldeo more onslly and (tlte you tho air of ment upon whoso shoulders cares rost llchtly.

Chauncor M. Depow Is tho loading type otthis clap of men.

Qeorce Bliss Is another Illustration of thishappy frame of mind. Ho reminds you of thopugilist who nlwnys comos up smlllne. Hepounces on his opponent with a quiddity. Heetrikes from the shoulder with a jest. He elvesa with a cine. He knocks his manout with u joke. Wliethor In a law case or lit apollllcnl convention, lie never Joics suthtof thoreductlo ad ntwnrdam.

JUW the Heanblleaa Mr. Hare theTemperance Vate Wader thetr Thniabe.

The temiieranco work ot tho last NowJersey Leclslalure Is oauslnc trouble In anunexpected dlrocllon. It has been the customin tho rural districts, ospoclally In parts ot theState where tho tompernncoaontlmontls strongand saloons few, for men to set up "Juc shops,"where they kept liquor for sale In quantities ofa quart or over, to bo drunk off the premises,Threo or four persons wishing to drink oonldchip In their money and en or send to ono ofthese places for a quart In a " crowlor" or a bot-

tle. They would drink it up somowhore out-sld- o

the door, and whuti it was nono eo hackfor more. For this hort of liquor edllnc nollccni-- was requited. Lxperts have calculatedthat for expedition and economy this mothodol cettinc drunk exceeded two to one tho

Mundluss up tua bar nnd pouringit down a class lit a lime.

To bienu up this bulnos tho Leclslnturopassed a law raising tho limit of unlicensedsales to nA gallons. This was a deadly blowat tho "Juc shop," but uobod noticed until re-cently tnat It was nlso n solid whack at thobusiness of lliiuot'-selllu- c by ctocei s, drueclste,and othordo'ilors who havo ulwnn heretoloroKept tho ardent lluld dono up In quart bottlesand other convenient packnees handy tor aimtomors who wanted that sort of Hoods withtheir cheoso and stigar, or ns mcdlaine. Inci-dentally, In probably half the groceries and

tho diucntore- - In tho Btate, cus-tomers who wsie known had nodlBlculty ingettlne slnclo drinks on the premises.

The now law makes it necessary for grocersand drucelsts to take out Ikon pes before theycan legally soil liquor at all, and breaks up theslncle drink custom entirely. Many grocerswho have large buslnei-sn- s have nlrendy ap-plied for licenses. The druggists generallysay that thoy will shut down on liquor sellingaltogether. To add to the unpleasantness ofthe situation for the grocers nnd druggists, thoHigh Llcuntn lnw has put up tho price of

to in large cities nnd to $lt)0 in thosmallest towns.

A fiittbor unexpected development is In themnttor of ules of liquor at clubs. It Is allegedthat the new laws make It necessary for allsuch organizations to havo a license to clloeu to members to drink in the club house.

On tho side of tho tomporance people thero Isalso unpleasantness, owing to the tnct that Itwill almost cuilululy be impossible to get anelection under tho local option jiart of thoHlch License bill before noxt yenr. InOlou-cesto- r

i!lectrle l.lebt Comnanic.Up to date tills year fourteen fires have

been enure 1 in Xow York by olectrlo lightwires. That Is an immense Inoreae ovor anequal period of last year, for in the entiretwelvemonth of 1HS7 there were In tho city buttwenty-tw- o fires so caused. It Is not easy totell exactly when tha.-- e light wires beganstarting conflagrations. In 1SR0 there werethroe fires, nccordlnc to tho report of the FireDepartment, set by "sparks from te'ecrnphwlrcb," and in 1881 another attributed to thosame cause. The fires clearly established ascaused by electric llcht whes nnmbeied threoIn 1981, two in 1832. six in 1883, seventeen in1884, nine In 1885. fourteen in 1886, twenty-tw- o

in 1837, and fourteen in tho first fourmonths of tho present year In all elghty-see- n.

The condition of the wires at the presenttime Is fraught with evtreme danger to life nndproperty. Tho suspended wires have becomoso numerous that they jostle each other, andevery moment when a wind is blowing there isperil of tho dlverMon of the high current of anarc light circuit to some te'ephone, telegraph.Tiro Department, or police wire, carrying dis-

aster to unexpected quarters. Thode' riora-tlo- n

wroucht by timo and the elements la theInsulating material covering those arc lightwires inllnltelylncronsos the danger, for where-oe- r

thero lsabaro spot of wire the curront isready to leap forth for silent, instantaneousmurder, or the starting of a conflagration. Thefraying of the Insulating coveilnc by wiresrubbing against each other, by their touchingspikes and posts and signs, by the formationof ice upon thorn, and the action of the wind Inblizzard weather, aud through many othercauses, has produced the rag and tatter so con-spicuous on the wires all over tho city,

Tho conditions attendant upon the startingot fires by electile llcht wires are such as

attention to them so quickly thatthoy are readily extinguished and compara-tively little damage is done. When the currentis diverted from a lamp to some improperdirection the light cu-- s out, and somebody isllkuly to havo sufllelcnt Intelligence to look outntonco for trouble. Jiut there are cases Inwhich tho flames are slnrtod in places wheretliey are not disc oercd until tho conflagrationgains headway, nnd thero are other cases Inwhich the dnraage done is groat and instan-taneous, through destruction by the pouerlnlarc llcht current of the delicate electrical ap-paratus of other systems. Eory year sincethero havo beon electric wires strung upon polesin Now VorkstrrolH telephone instruments nndllio alarm boxes have beon burned nut In thisway. In 18S6 tho switchboard at Flru Depart-ment Headquarters was ret on lire thiougli thetouch of an nrc-llc- wlro to one of tho fire tele-graph wires. As long ago as lh81 tho superin-tendent of the flio alarm telegraph, in hisannual report, invited attention "to tho con-stant and Increasing liability of interruptionsand damage to the (lie alarm telccr-ipt- i sys-tem from the electric llcht wires, utid d

that " restrictions should be iilacod upunof pnlu.s and wires among and over

tho wires of the denuitiuout by the eluetlujight-in- c

companies." Again, in 1882, lie reportedthat "tho Interferences of olectrlo light wlteswith those of the tiro alarm tolegr.iph of thisdejiartmcnt aro becoming so serious ns to de-mand immediato attention. In n number ofinstances on record whole, nnd large parts of,etit-J-t alarm box circuits have for hours beenrenderod useloss by tho destroying of the eloc-tri- o

mechnnlsm of the boxes."Utery year sinco then similar com-

plaints hao beon made. Superinten-dent Smith says: "Wo do all wo canto keep our wires from gottlnc in con-tn-

with those of tho electrlo Jlghtlnz com-panies by kooplnc out ot their way, for the de-partment has no rights they are bouuu to

and wo cannot make them keep out ofour way. Tho dangers from thorn nisy confi-dently ho exjiected to Increuso from this timeon. owing to the deterioration of the Insulatingmaterial upon the wires that hatobrcn up forseme time and tho lapld and great increase intheir circuits."

man's houso to be obtained simply by turaliuri,spigot, tho samo as for water. That is the latest iI1 an to circumvent the Lloenso Court. It la $vcertainly true that " necessity is the mother ofinvention," and tho scarcltyof saloons after to-- 1morrow hns set many persons to cudgeluns; tjtheir brnlns for plans to make up for the lots. 3,Tliat ot furnishing beer to private houses ',through pipes runningdlroot from the breweryIs the invention of William Hogg, the Hone; JKong blue manufacturer of AUeirhony City. -

Ou Sutu rd.ty he submitted the plan vo D. Luti, '!tho brewesr. who expressed himself as greatly Y,

pleased with it, Mr. Hogg will apply for ft )patent, and It ho secures one will oommenoopreparations for putting tho schema Into effeot. 4i

Tho idea is to lay pipes in the streets the isame as other pipos nre laid, and these will . A;have houso connections, tho boer passing: ''.through a meter In each house to show the .'.,quantity usod. The pipes will be ot peculiar - "Jconstruction, and three In number, one Inside .4the other. The outer pipe will be of clqy. This siwtll surround nn inner plpo ot iron, which will i 'Astill havo anothor Inside of It, The inner pipe .

will bo two Inches in diameter, lined with silverto prevent oorroslon. jf.

Between this plpo and the other Iron pipe willbe a spaco of about two inches all around, togive space to a current of cold air from the loe-- .'making machinery at the broworr. thus keep-- ' iing the beor cool all the time. jt.

Mr. Hogg calculated thnt a pressure of 60,000 isgallons in a hogshead or reservoir on the sixth. ,(!v

floor of tho brewory will bo sufficient to foroo j'tho beer through the pipes and into the houseswhero the service pipes run. The consumers :'will pay no license or tax. but It will be neoes- - 'enry for tho brower to afllx the Internal revenue 4stamps to the hogshead in the brewery. The Jplan contemplates lending rtround personaonce a month to examine tho tasters, see new 4much beer has been consumed and collect the -

money for It About once a rhanth the pipes i.will be cleaned out thoroughly In order to keep ,?them in good condition and parevent the beer N "from spoiling. A

It will be necessary, of course, to get the per-- !',

mission of Councils to lay pipes in the streets. hMr. Hogg says that if he got everything else ',in shape ho haj no fear about totting totspermission. As yet he has cot fleurod on thcost, but ho does not expect It to be laffger than, :;ho will be able to secure money for to pat than 'vdown. The first trial will be In Alletthony, .8
